Our Process

Preparing the Home for Sale

Property inspection – Before we list your home, we will inspect and identify improvements that could increase profit on the sale.

Staging – If requested, a professional decorator will stage your home so it can be presented in its best possible light.

Establishing Goals – Markets can fluctuate so it’s important to establish your goals so that we can work hard to meet them.

Listing Price – Establishing a competitive listing price is critical to the success of the sale. We use the most advanced Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) tools to derive the right price.

Promoting the Property (via traditional and digital forms of advertising)

Professional photography – Once your home is ready to list, we will have professional quality digital photos taken.

Full-color property brochures – We prepare a professional marketing sales brochure including graphics and highlights of your home to distribute to the brokerage community and potential buyers.

Full-color postcards of your home will be designed and distributed prior to the broker tour within your neighborhood and through direct mailings.

Multiple listing Service (MLS) – Information about your home will be included in the Multiple Listing Service, a database of currently available properties accessible by real estate professionals.

The Internet Data Exchange (IDX) is an electronic display of homes for sale listed in the MLS. Your home will appear in this exchange.

Our Website features an entire feed of listings for all viewers who come to this site to search for homes.

Email Updates – Our Website also features an automated MLS search for clients who are seeking properties. They can initiate their search on our site and receive emails daily with listings that meet their criteria. Your home will be featured in this service.

TESTIMONIALS

Davis & Co. is a great property management company and real estate agency. They are local experts for 30+ years and his [founder Harold's] children grew up in Palo Alto. They helped us find a home in Los Altos in this hot market against the all cash bidders.

Chris L.

Davis & Co. helped us purchase a home in Palo Alto. The peninsula area is very competitive and Davis & Co.'s in-depth knowledge of the market was extremely helpful as we searched for the perfect place. Davis & Co. provided excellent service and provided us with their list of outstanding vendors as we needed to do some remodeling in our new place.

I would highly recommend Davis & Co. to any of my friends and family!

A H.

Davis & Co. managed our property for over twenty years. All maintenance issues are always promptly taken care of and for the most part done at very reasonable costs. Every year, they perform a thorough walk-through of our property and now and then would discover potential issues (before they become real ones!). Davis & Co. helped us with the purchase of a property this past year when the market was very competitive. If there are any shortcomings to any properties visited, Davis & Co. will definitely let you know.

We highly recommend Davis & Co. Realtors. They helped us immeasurably with two home sales in Mountain View, and three home purchases: one in Mountain View, one in Los Altos and one in Palo Alto. In each case, their homework, attention to detail and negotiating skills helped us to obtain the best deal possible. Davis & Co.'s ability to estimate the correct pricing necessary to get the deal done in each case was nothing short of astounding.

Overall, Davis & Co. are professional, organized and very knowledgeable about the Peninsula Real Estate Market.
